I have run many Obstacle Course Races (OCR and the cool kids say today) over my years of running. I’m a 10x Tough Mudder Finisher, Spartan Trifecta holder, and have been invited to the world championships numerous years.

While not on my immediate radar to get back out on the circuit, I do hear it’s calling. Tough Mudder recently began a Gauntlet Challenge for those competing in all the different levels of their races. If there’s one thing that nags at me, it’s unfinished business. Even though I was invited to the world championships when I was heavy into that lifestyle, I never went. It was too cold. Now held in Vegas and an actual goblet is given for completing the challenge, it’s only a matter of time before I’m back out there.
